The wait was easily worth it since I genuinely needed to know your thoughts on this update since it caused....SO MUCH buzz online in the community.

Great to have you back. Bow what is your thoughts on sonic x shadow?

Thrilled for your updates! Your Sonic content is 2nd to none!

My goat is back

THE LEGEND IS BACK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sometimes I wonder what bickuri would do if sonic came crashing through his window in the middle of the night...

@@gudmythman ill arrange that

those animals are pretty fucking funny after all

YOUR FREAKING PFP LMAO ​@@PowerMan87

​@@PowerMan87Yeah, that pfp threw me for a second.

the good kind of jumpscare

Nah you said it i was like, BICKURIBOX DROPPED A VID???

2 new sonic games and the final season of sonic prime have come out since he last uploaded 😭

Legit, just saw it appear from nowhere

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! Dat Wuz scary, ngl

I'm pretty sure it's on a timer, but he usually gets shredded to pieces before that

Peak referencing peak, love both of you

@JediDrewsterT Nice, same here! Although, I beat it on Hard Mode in my second playthrough.

I did it on Extreme. Biggest achievement of my life. Would not wish that even upon my worst enemies.

Thank you for your service

Same

I did that on extreme

Thank you so much

@@bickuribox12 I've just on the cusp of finishing this video and if anything, I should be thanking you. This was every second worth the wait. The Superstars video will be amazing when it releases, I just know it.

110% same here

@MrH1pster this. This channel is the most unexpected, yet greatest gem the algorithm has ever gifted me.

just click the bell icon dude. dont get me wrong i also consider him to be one of the best game reviewers and im happy that you are enjoying his content as much as you seem to do but im just saying. you will just get a notification as soon as he uploads

I don't think there's any "good way" to learn about an instant kill that the game doesn't prepare you for, lol

Same thing happened to me but it didn't kill me the second time I tried I only had around 90 something rings and ended up beating the boss

this happened to me and i was so confused i started treating it like a mash QTE on subsequent fights i thought they just forgot to add the ui elements 😭

Honestly, that little sneak peak just got me excited for it low-key, lol

Them 3 final bosses are in a polite diss of their existence, I assume. They aren't really bad, but damn, we could have given more opportunities to hit them.

fr Superstars spat in our faces with those bosses so I felt like I gave the game the ultimate middle finger when I beat them.

He actually does say wut he thinks on Superstars in a video (not his own), not gonna tell tho in case u don't want spoilers

​@@user-xy3gs4in7zTell whose video it was, I don't care for spoilers at this point

By any chance, do you enjoy dark souls?

I loved so much the bosses on hard that I got mad when they "fixed" it

I don’t mind retrying the bosses per se, just the time spent climbing Giganto or chasing Wyvern. If it was back to back bossfights or it gave you a way to get rings in the climbing sequences it would’ve been a lot more bearable.

@@silentnight6810 I love the series! Yes! Elden Ring is one of my favourite games of all time!

That's wild I also have masochistic tendancies in geometry dash (I think I had a mental breakdown trying to beat electrodynamix that one time)

Thank you for the time stamps. Always like to rewatch certain parts of the video every time I come back

Thank you for your service good sir

Thanks man

This totally needs to be put in the description or pinned, good stuff.

I feel like they should be a section dedicated to wyvern 😂

Supreme loves his gun confirmed XD

@@WolflaChan Seems so, yeah.

What was the scrapped QTE?

@@NotSoGenesiz Those were fully finished (at least the first one), and they didn’t add them in!? I’m starting to wonder if Sonic Team knows how to differentiate their beta from final products…

they did add one back in i think

​@@mrmelonman2893 I've heard somewhere that they added the other gun qte in the update, but the trigger for the qte is apparently very hidden. But I've yet to find any online proof of that qte ever being added in the base game, so I'm 99% sure that qte still remains unused, unfortunately. Which is odd, considering that they could've easily added it in with no changes at all.

@@fransiscayulianita68 According to what you’ve heard, what is that trigger?

True but O feel bad for so many fans That don’t appreciate the game because of its Unfinished State it’s Fair to want more and I understand that But I just want everyone to be Happy be as they waited for So much of this to come back for so long

​​@@RaiginAnimator It just goes to show how important execution and polish can be. It makes perfect sense that, for many, it's not enough to just play a Sonic game for the sake of supporting Sega in their experimentation with old ideas. There has to be a certain level of quality and.. less jank, for their efforts to be appreciated-- _especially_ from the perspective of a consumer who's paying money to play it (I can't fault anyone for not wanting to play a "prototype" with so many obvious flaws when they can just spend their money on something more polished).

@@DLxxx Yup but Substitute Sega with Sonic team It’s just a minor pet level bc sonic Team develops the Games but so many people Say Sega the publisher instead of them Sega rushed the games out the door and Sonic team Tries to make them ready in time

Oh absolutely I agree with this

@@DLxxx frontiers is probably the most fun and janky good game you could possibly get nowadays honestly

The hype was worth it, we survived the long winter

​@@beatblocksgaming should've been longer. Lol

That could only be luck

Get on my level. This only took me 3 🥱

😂😂 I was looking for that comment

...WHAT COMES AROUND. COMES BACK AROUND AGAIN

@@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32AND IF WE DON'T CALM DOWN, WE'LL BE LOST IN THE RAIN

Combat in Final Horizon was very secondary: the other characters trees were more focused on their plaforming abilities (which makes sense since this is a platformer, I'd rather get that part down before anything else), and most of the combat was skippable because you can get gears or the tower kokos by treasure spots (it's not ideal, but if someone wasn't feeling the combat, it's an alternative). I don't think having RPG stats is bad or shouldn't be revisited because of one game, I think the unbalace nature of final horizon's combat is a product of making the update in one year, while also working on the other 2 updates and other projects

I actually ended up beating them in a pretty different way. I would cyloop them, start a combo, then right before my time was up, I would spindash into them and blast off. The spindash did fairly good damage, and helped me save time by not being knocked back.

;))))))

@@gudmythman Gudman my goat

Haha I appreciate it 👍

It gave me a chuckle. XD

Good to see you here, Mr Pasquale!

I will say, despite the massive difficulty spike pre-patch, after all of the trial and errors, the difficult trial towers (Well, mainly the 2nd one, Snake's Trial), having to go through all if the platforming segments and story progression, in the end of it all, it's good to say that it feels rewarding after you finish the final boss in the DLC, knowing you managed to beat it, and being left with an ending that is just so wholesome it'd bring a tear to your eye as the vocal version of I'm With You starts playing.

Facts

Mr.needle mouse? Didnt expect to find you here

@@gapfmmadeira8339 What can I say I watch peak

It definitely was though. Cause there is NO WAY that repeatingly cylooping and punching the enemy was the intended solution in the parry based trials. Which are intended to prepare you for the perfect parry mechanic. So, no... that was DEFINITELY the intended solution.

ur right that is the right way to beat it. The entirety of the trials are designed to prepare you to use the perfect parry for the final boss, and while in concept it fails in some areas, this is how it was designed in concept.

@@fransiscayulianita68well they sure fucked up, because i did it the boring way and had just enough time to finish

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

Same!

It's not a bug, that's what it's meant to do. And actually, he got a small detail wrong; being in top speed alone doesn't make you explode, using the Spin Dash does. The Spin Dash instantly gets you into top speed, but it'll make you explode if you use it too long. Running normally does not cause that to happen.

@@SneeakieReally? So I don’t have to worry about holding down R2/RT/ZR for long periods in that stage?

@@TheDMan2003 nope

@@SneeakieI wondered why I wasn’t combusting to pieces when I held Boost for so long when going for the Hidden Goal…

YES THATS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME

I think the dying if you have less than 100 rings is intentional, but it wasn't mentioned anywhere from my replays. So you still didn't know if you were experiencing the boss for the first time

its intentional

The thing about the cinematic attacks in Frontiers is that they slow down the enemies. You'll deal much more damage by mixing the stomp attack with cyclone kick to maximize slowdowns and have longer openings against bosses. Less DPS, but longer openings, which result in overall more damage.

@@roiitzkovich4545 Didn't want to go into too much detail, but I did use the cyclone kick quite a bit as well. That being said, it was more of an input problem (since doing several stomps in a row could get tricky, alternating is much easier), or to generate more meter. I had to go through a lot of gigantos suffice to say, and stomp spam is extremely effective if done correctly, slowdown or not. Damage is also capped of course because of phase transitions, so once you've reached the max damage per opening(which stomp accomplishes), slowdowns become detrimental since you're on a timer. Of course, if you're at that point you can probably clear the trial easily regardless, if you don't have my timing issues. I was really just failing at wyvern over and over... and over.

@@CyclonSilver The stomp-cyclone kick strategy is especially useful on guardians. You can beat many bosses on their 1st phase with how long you can stretch the openings. Against titans though, I guess DPS matters more.

What was your reaction when the game finally told you how to win after you beat it? XD

@@DLxxx I honestly didn’t care because the boss becomes a pushover after that point anyway

​@@Ismatic1906True, lol. The fact that you can shred through it in _seconds_ after you figure it out is insane.

i played post-patch and still describe the master trial as "punch-in-the-dick difficult"

Literally all of this. This entire comment is my EXACT feelings about Sonic. Im not buying another Sonic game after Frontiers. To me, it just resembles everything i dont like about Sonic anymore. What was it that you personally didnt like about it and the DLC?

@@ddrxmanpkmaster4988 there was no one big thing in particular that got me. I would say it was death by 1000 cuts. But if i had to put it ibto words it would have been pointlessness. Every objective was a straight path to either pointless stats or ways to get keys. On top of that it just felt bad to play. The level desgin took a massive hit to incorporate combat that was style over substance and no fights actually made me engage with them enough for the combat to have destroyed the movement fluidity. Then the just repetative collecting of pointless dodads made me hate even the aspect of getting rewards. I stopped leveling stats to give myself a challenge but it had the opposite effect. Fights wernt harder they just took longer. I will say though giganto is the best supersonic fight we have ever had. It took the core gameplay mechanics and turned them up to 11 and when i played i died so i was stuck with 100 rings forcing that time crunch onto me really made me engage with the combat in a way nothing else in the game ever did including the kings trial. But after giganto fell snd i was thrown into the desert it hit me that "oh they have nothing else" and i was right it was 4 worlds that were the same as the first. I was done after the second. By the final world i was searching for purple coins so i didnt have to engage with the gameplay loop that took everything outta me. Then the final boss was just ikaruga for no reason. Im not against new gameplay styles but by the time i got to the end and i was forced to listen to a like 10 minute monolouge every time i died. Well the camels back was long broken. I needed sonic frontiers to be a miracle and it could just never be that. It was at best a "step in the right direction" but hay thats fine im done and i wish them the best. Ive found a high speed platformer to fill my needs and it hit every single one of them.
